My technique is very easy and so much fun! First, don't use anything other than Saran Wrap. I did try another brand that I had in my kitchen and it didn't work as well. You need to seperate your napkin. Napkins come in 2-3 ply. Usually they are very easy to seperate. You will only use the first ply with the design. Have your card already cut and scored. I use my kitchen counter because it's tile. If I had to mess with getting out my ironing board, I would't do this! Anyway, I lay my card on the counter, then put a piece of Saran wrap over the front of the card. With your hands press the Saran so it is free of wrinkles, as much as possible. The piece of Saran should be at least 1 inch larger than the card-all the way around because as the Saran gets hot it will shrink. Then put your napkin over the Saran, placing the design of the napkin where you want it to be on your card. Place a single ply of napkin (that you just pulled off the napkin you are using) to cover everything. Then iron. I put my iron on medium high. You don't want to use steam, just heat. I take my time and iron back and forth a few times to make sure I have heated the entire surface, including the corners. Once this is done you will have to trim the excess. You can stamp or emboss on your card too! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
